€45m Bayern Munich winger prefers Barcelona over a Premier League move | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are once again looking to strengthen their wings in the upcoming summer transfer window after failing to land Nico Williams last summer.

For this purpose, they have already been linked with several notable names, including Rafael Leao, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Luis Diaz, and Marcus Rashford.

Another name that has been associated with the Blaugranes in the last few weeks is the Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane, who can be an attractive option for the Catalans as his contract with the Bavarian side is ending at the end of this season.

Latest reports from Germany indicate that he is highly unlikely to remain at Bayern and will join a new club after spending five years at the Bavarian side. He has received significant interest from the Premier League, with teams like Arsenal and Manchester United having made advances for him, while Liverpool are currently looking to be the most likely side to get him for free next summer.

Meanwhile, he also has received offers from the Italian Serie A and the Saudi Pro League. However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the player’s own desire is to join Barcelona and he would prefer to join the Catalan side ahead of a return to the Premier League, where he has already played with Manchester City.

One of the factors that could have made him desire Barcelona above any other option is the presence of Hansi Flick on the Blaugrana bench. Sane has already played under him at Bayern Munich and enjoyed great prominence under him as he scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in 44 appearances.

Thus, as Barcelona continue to look for options to strengthen their left wing, Sane, currently valued at €45 million, can be a highly attractive candidate as he himself wants to join, and the cash-strapped Blaugranes will also not have to pay any fee for his signing.
